I'd like to add, Putin is indeed acting as a 19th century great power, using pretexts to cover land grabs, ignoring his own promises, playing stupid blame games and baldface-ed-ly lying while his proxies at RT News and internet shills pretend to give 'news' that justifies it. I don't think we've seen this sort of behavior since WW2 outside of a couple Chinese grabs and the internet thing is a novelty for international intrigue imo. It is a blow to the rule of (international) law, and if he takes eastern Ukraine will usher in a new - and uncertain - world system. Time to gird the loins.
